hard📝 Conceptual Q10 of 15
Computer Networks - OSI and TCP/IP Models
Why is the TCP/IP model considered more practical than the OSI model for real-world networking?
ABecause TCP/IP has more layers than OSI
BBecause OSI model does not support error checking
CBecause TCP/IP combines layers and focuses on protocols used in the Internet
DBecause OSI model is only theoretical and never implemented
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:

  1. Step 1: Compare TCP/IP and OSI model structures

    TCP/IP has fewer layers and combines some OSI layers for simplicity.

  2. Step 2: Understand TCP/IP's focus on Internet protocols

    TCP/IP was designed around protocols used on the Internet, making it practical and widely adopted.

  3. Final Answer:

    Because TCP/IP combines layers and focuses on protocols used in the Internet -> Option C

  4. Quick Check:

    Practicality = TCP/IP's combined layers and Internet focus [OK]
Quick Trick: TCP/IP is practical due to combined layers and Internet focus [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Thinking OSI lacks error checking
  • Believing OSI is never implemented
